Apply a WebLogic Server Patch

Use the Jenkins job to apply patches to a WebLogic Server installation that you created with Oracle WebLogic Server for OKE.

You can use one of the following sources to specify the location of the WebLogic patch file:

• Object Storage - Uses the pre-authenticated URL on the Object Storage.

• Shared File System - Uses the path of the shared file storage.

  The NFS shared file system path is mounted on /u01/shared location on the administration host.

To apply the WebLogic patch file:

1. Sign in to the Jenkins console for your domain. See Access the Jenkins Console.
2. On the Dashboard page, click opatch-update.
3. Click Build with Parameters.
4. Select the source of the Weblogic patch file from the WLS_Opatches list.

   WLS_Opatches refers to any patch that may be required to patch WLS, ADF/JRF, or Coherence product binaries (including ADR patches, JRF patches, OPSS, OWSM, OPatches).

5. For Opatches_Location, specify the http pre-authenticated URL or the path of the zip file on the shared file system.
   For multiple patches, specify the location in separate lines.
6. Deselect the Rollback_On_Failure check box if you do not want to rollback to the previous working domain image (optional).

   If you deselected this check box, you can rollback to the previous image later from the backup.

   The Rollback_On_Failure check box is selected by default.

7. Click Build to run the Pipeline job.

   You can see the different stages of the Pipeline for the opatch-update job. See Pipeline Job Stages in Domain in Image.
